Abstract
In the first half of 2020, our daily lives, and music education, have undergone seismic unforeseen and unexpected changes as the Covid-19 pandemic sweeps across continents and communities. At the start of April, media reported that “half of humanity [are] now on lockdown” (Euro News, 2020) as the pandemic spreads around the world, leaving in its wake millions of identified cases of the coronavirus and a rising death toll (Johns Hopkins University, 2020). As a consequence of the restrictions imposed on freedom of movement, the changes to everyday life and to education have also been significant. Unesco (2020) reported that “as of mid-April, 1.5 billion children and youth were affected by school closures in 195 countries”. In this article we offer a commentary on these issues, and, as this is the British Journal of Music Education, we are focussing on the perspective as seen from events in the UK.
